Chapter 3-Dumbledoor's Mistake

"What do you mean, Albus? Forgotten one?" Minerva McGonagal asked or Albus Dumbledoor. She and Serveous Snape were sitting in the headmaster's office, called for and emergency meeting.

"A student, Minerva, a student!" he replied "We have forgotten a student!"

"We've forgotten a student?" Snape asked.

"Yes, we've actually forgotten to enroll a student at Hogwarts. I can hardly believe it myself. We overlooked her, left her behind."

"Well, we'll just enroll her now, it's not too late to send an owl." said McGonagal. Dumbledoor closed his eyes, looking tired and wary for a moment.

"It's not that simple, Minerva. For you see, she's 16 now" he said calmly. McGonagal sat back in her chair with a look on her face that appeared as if someone had slapped her. Even Snape looked surprised.

"Oh my god." she said in a low voice. "Has it really been that long?" Dumbledoor nodded.

"How could this be possible?" Snape asked. I'm not quite sure, Serveus. It could a number of things. She is muggle born so it could be that we just missed her. Or, possible some dark magic hid her from us. I do not know. I only just happened upon her last night when I was asleep when a very powerful blast of magic was set off. I saw a fleeting image of this girl and immediately realized she was one of us. But she had not gotten to school here. We had forgotten her."

"What are we going to do?" Professor McGonagal asked.

"She must be enrolled." the headmaster replied calmly.

"And how shall we do that? We can't put her with the 6th years, she doesn't even know 1st year material." Snape stated.

"We can't put her with the first years, Serveous. She's 16 for heaven's sake!" McGonagal put in.

"And what do you suppose we do? Throw her in with the 6th years? Have her learn complicated spells and potions and even take her O.W.L.S. when she hasn't the faintest idea this world even exists?!" Snape said testily.

"And what would you do? Keep her 3with the 1st years? A 16 year old with a bunch of 11 year olds? She would be completely uncomfortable and not to mention the laughing stock of the school!" McGonagal shot back. Snape opened his mouth to say something but Dumbledoor held up his hand to silence them both and the two professors kept quiet.

"We shall keep her with the 6th years but make known to every teacher that they are to teach her 1st year material. If they see her fit to advance they may allow her to do so." he said finalizing it.

"I suppose that's the best thing to do." said McGonagal.

"She'll probably turn out just to be a squib anyway." Snape commented.

"Don't be so sure, Serveous, don't be so sure..."
